Somewhat in the vein of data hoarding - for those of you who keep track of what you order, Amazon will be removing the Order History Reports in March 20, 2023.

This report allows you to download a csv file with all of your order history information and is useful for things such as insurance purposes. The furthest back you can go for data was January 1st, 2006.

If you’ve never used the report before, refer to this help page.

• Edited to clarify that it’s only the CSV report that’s going away. Your order history will still be available in the web interface. It’ll just be much harder to export the information.

Ever since Amazon got rid of order report functionality last year, I’ve been trying to find an easy way to export my order history. As it turns out, Amazon actually still offers a way to do this using their “Request My Data” tool, though it’s buried deep within their help pages.

Here’s the direct link to access: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

There actually a number of different data sets you can download, most notably:

• Your Orders

• Search History

• Advertising

• Amazon Photos and Drive

• Prime Video

• Customer Support Communication

Unfortunately, the process to access the data requires a few steps – you submit a request, then have to confirm it by clicking a link sent to your email. You will then receive a link a few hours later to download the requested data.

I’ve only tried requesting order information thus far, but am pleasantly surprised with the robustness of the data. Here's a link to a high level summary I put together showing the full set of reports and fields Amazon provides when you request your order data

There are obviously a ton of things you can look at in this data, though wanted to highlight a few based on common questions I see on this subreddit

• Returns Tracking – a lot of folks have reported issues with not knowing the tracking numbers for returns (e.g., if they are dropped off at UPS via QR code). The “Return Requests” file lists the tracking number for all returns you’ve requested

• Return Reimbursement – the return reports also provide a comprehensive list of refunds from Amazon. You should be able to compare this information to your return requests to make sure that there aren’t any items that you sent back but haven’t been refunded for (I’ve already identified a few in my data!)

• Prime Subscription Tracking – transactions related to your Prime subscription are in the “digital order” reports, which may be worth checking to ensure you aren’t being double charged for Prime, etc.

Hopefully others find this as helpful as I did (and apologies if this was common knowledge already!)

I want to download all my order history - how can that be done?

there used to be a very easy way - but they removed it :/ why?

but I can not find it

please help

please advise

All started when I bought an Apple gift card and it locked my account because it thought I was being hacked. Did everything I had to do and realized everything in my account was old and new stuff was wiped. Even my addresses and payment methods were wiped and replaced with old ones I deleted long time ago.

I’ve talked to almost 10 customer support reps over the phone and over live chat, multiple managers. Multiple times I’ve had people escalate it and say the investigations team will get back to me and nothing. Only way to get my proof of purchase for those accounts is to ask support to email it to me.

Any suggestions?

update: the order history came back around a month ago. I gave up awhile back. So I’m not sure if calling helped or not.

Posting this as a PSA for anyone who might be looking to find their 2023 order history exported as a CSV, and stumbled into other Reddit posts advertising Chrome extensions or paid-for scraping software that achieves the same.

You can quite literally just request the data directly from Amazon from here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

As tax season gears up, I figured this might help out a few people, as I didn't realize this until I waited WAYY too long in a customer support chat.

Click on account >> under Payments click on Your Payments >> scroll to the Transactions tab

Now you can view your purchases by the amount charged to your credit card, click on it, and see the items on that transaction. Makes it sooo much easier to do my budgeting than trying to find them from my orders page.

Hope this helps someone save some time and headache on their budgeting!

When amazon order history report was temporarily dysfunctional a few years ago, someone wrote a plugin or app or something that allowed you to make an order history report. Since amazon has discontinued it, does anyone know if there's some other way to create a list of amazon orders?

I'm a heavy Amazon shopper since 2012 and average around 300 items per year even without Vine. Now I have 200 orders just in the past 3 months and it's a giant mess.

The problem is come tax season I have to figure out exactly what the heck was a business expense or not. It's going to be a disaster, because Amazon doesn't give a neat spreadsheet for non-Vine items, instead I have to go through each order page and literally jot down each order, this coupled with the Vine items means that process will take twice as long...

In another thread I realized many people do not know that it's possible to download your Amazon transactions into a spreadsheet and it is itemized by item, not by order.

Here is the link to access these reports. I run it every month when I do my budget and I can copy and paste everything into my budget spreadsheet. So much better than manual entry!

I called them for a totally different problem because I couldn't log in. During the conversation, I realized that customer support employee has access to all my order history. I asked him about the ability to remove it, but he and his supervisor told me that they can just archive it (which makes absolutely no different because it's a literally different folder in the same list). Aren't way obligated to do that by customer request? Is it true for customers from Europe as well taking into account all these convos about EUGDPR?

So I got my mom a Fire Tablet for Christmas and I know she's going to love it because she's always complaining about her Iphone screen being too small to play her games on. Only problem is that I ordered it off Amazon and now it will have all my account settings pre-logged in. There are a few things that I'd prefer her not to see if she decides to get nosey. The main thing that comes to mind is the dildo set for my gf. So yeah, any way to protect this info?

can adults/teens/kids in your household see shopping cart/order history/search history? I need to know cause it's bugging me that I don't.

I was attempting to get a CSV for the tax year via the "Request your Data page" per the instructions of this thread from 3 months ago: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

I got to a page telling me to validate my request by means of email, but I haven't received any email. I assume I have to validate before they generate the CSV (which I know takes some time), but the email isn't sending.

This thread states the function was discontinued. Should I expect the email for my data request in some hours? Is it just my email not liking amazon? Was the thread from 3 months ago referring to something else?

Customer service chat was just slightly useless with their broken english.

As you may have known, Amazon discontinued the feature to download or export your order history into a spreadsheet. I looked around and found a few solutions that might help—especially with tax season approaching and many businesses needing accurate records.

So here are the 3 methods that I found and tested, each suited to different use cases. For example, if you need exports frequently, Method 3 may be the best option.

Method 1: Amazon’s Data Request

Steps:

1. Visit Amazon's Data Request Page:
   Amazon Data Request

2. Follow the On-Screen Instructions:
   Request your order history data
   Note: May take up to a month to receive if you have a lot of orders.

3. Download the File:
   Once your request is processed, download the file provided by Amazon.

Pros:

• Official Source: Data comes directly from Amazon.

Cons:

• Processing Time: Each request may take up to 1 month, especially if you have many orders.

• Limited Options: You must export your entire order history without customization.

Method 2: Amazon Order History Reporter Chrome Extension

Steps:

1. Install the Extension:
   Get it from the Chrome Web Store.

2. Log In and Export:
   Ensure you're logged into your Amazon account, then click the extension icon to export your order history.

Pros:

• Ease of Use: Quick and simple with just a few clicks.

• Customizable Exports: You can scrape and export by a certain date range.

Cons:

• Reliability: Doesn’t update orders if they are canceled, so data may not be as accurate.

• Lacking Data: Some details, such as tracking numbers, may not be available.

Method 3: Ordigo (Premium Option)

Steps:

1. Check out Ordigo:
   Ordigo

2. Sign Up for a Subscription:
   Plans start at $9/month.

3. Connect Your Amazon Account:
   Link your Amazon account as instructed.

4. Generate and Download Your Spreadsheet:
   Automatically export your order history into Excel or CSV format.

Pros:

• Fully Customizable: Choose which dates to include (Last Year, This Year, All Time, etc.).

• User-Friendly: Easy-to-use interface with minimal setup.

• Comprehensive Data: Exports detailed information including shipment dates, delivery dates, tracking numbers, and more.

• Real-Time Sync: Just link your Amazon account and click export—new orders automatically sync, ensuring your records are always current.

• Time-Saving: Ideal for frequent users or business owners needing regular, detailed exports.

Cons:

• Cost: Requires a subscription fee.

I've been working on analyzing my spending habits, and just finished linking my bank accounts into my eMoney account and categorizing my transactions. I use Amazon for a lot of my purchases, and thus a significant chunk of my spending is just "Amazon" with no way to perform a deeper analysis.

I'm looking for tools that can help me analyze and categorize my Amazon purchase history. I'm aware that I can export my purchase history to a .csv and I'm well versed in MS Excel, but I'm looking for something that will be able to intelligently and automatically categorize my purchases. I fully expect I'll need to review and make some corrections, but I'm hoping to find something that'll do most of the work for me. Free is of course best, but I'd be willing to shell out a few bucks a year for a quality tool.

So I was looking for an item in my order history and it's not there. I'm pretty sure I bought it on Amazon but there's no trace of it in order history.

The product page also doesn't have the you bought this item on x date notice

Why would that happen? Has it happened to anyone else?
